I need some liquor. Can't decide between Margaritas or Bellinis...or maybe something easier to make.
Food would also be a good plan.

You were the one we poured all of our hopes and dreams for success and achievement into. To see you back here, back in the gutters of the political internet, it's just, just... :cry:
But welcome home!!! :bounce:

31. I had a rough patch in July |
|
I'd been feeling really tired and run-down for months. I chalked it up to my schedule. I finally went to the doctor, and he ordered some blood tests.
When I went back to get the results, the doctor gave me a copy of the results and told me to go to emergency. (I'm not critical, or anything.)
I went to the ER the next day after work, and checked in with the triage nurse. They took me right in - I didn't even have to wait in the waiting room. I had about 10,000 doctors check on me. I had to go get a test done, and the orderly seemed very concerned that I might be dizzy, and could I stand...
Long story short. I was really, really anemic. I had a third of the hemoglobin I should have had. I was in a proper room within a few hours, and they started the blood transfusion. 4 units. That brought me up to two thirds for my hemoglobin level. I can now walk a block without wheezing!
I was out of the hospital for a day, and then went back because I had picked up some horrible gastro bug. They're very cautious with people who've had transfusions, so again, I went right into the ER, and was soon admitted to a room.
So much for the theory that you can't get decent care in Canada. My only complaint is that I looked like a heroin addict for a few days, but that's hard to avoid when you get stuck with so many needles.
How have you been? You were thinking of moving. Did that happen? I hope you are well and happy.

36. You beat me to it. Halfway through reading your post, I was going to say how your |
|
experience really reinforced the negative crap that American rightwingers say about Canadia "socialized" medical care, didn't it?
Imagine how it would have been for you in the US, with checking of your "insured status" every step of the way. I'm really happy that you're feeling better - did they ever find out the cause of the anemia?
As for us (thank you for asking), the property-value disaster has hit even those of us who live in desirable towns; we thought that being on the shoreline would insulate us from the housing disaster to some extent. And it has, but not to the point where it would be easy for us to sell the house for what we'd need to got in order for a move to make sense.
But all in all, if you have to be "stuck" somewhere for another year or two, there are a LOT worse places for us to be stuck than where we are.
And anytime you get down this way, remember that we have lots of room and enjoy having visitors.
